A True Saint’s self-detonation possesses immense power, only through Mieyu leading and joining forces with Kong Ming and others were they able to suppress the power of the self-detonation.

Unfortunately, Tuo Hai was not so fortunate. Upon seeing him, the Saints around changed colors drastically; they simultaneously fled while suppressing Tuo Hai to prevent him from coming near.

"Let’s act together!"

A True Saint roared, attempting to rally everyone to collectively resist the unseen force, yet soon they realized this would only incite more trouble!

This unseen force seemed limited, targeting only a few truly unlucky individuals.

None of the Saints wished to incur wrath, so they tacitly acted, driving these people to one location.

Some strong figures from the same faction tried to salvage the situation but found it difficult to resist the overall trend.

Then.

Suddenly, a tricolor radiance appeared before the Saints, the purple-white-gold colors alternated and flickered, and a sacred Jade Ruyi descended from the sky, standing at the center of Heaven and Earth, stabilizing this realm like a small boat amidst a tide.

The next moment, the tricolor Divine light swept toward the surrounding narrow eyes, causing this realm to lose its color!

In a booming sound, numerous ’eye-like’ Void fissures were flattened, the sacred aura within the tricolor Jade Ruyi suppressed the aura of disasters, leaving only colorful radiance amidst Heaven and Earth.

The previously departed Heavenly Emperor returned.

Where she stood was a realm where time and fate did not exist, or completely unified, fully merged into her body, making the world where she stood appear illusory, as the resplendent starlight prominently emerged, exuding an ancient and profound feeling, as if linking the various realms, traversing the endless void, drawing on an indescribable great force!

This scene caused many knowledgeable True Saints present to have a drastic change of expression—it was already the method of a Transcender!

"World Venerable! Help me suppress the Silent Extinction Tide!" Dou Mu said solemnly. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ji Jingqiu’s heart tightened, he never expected this figure to be able to put on such a comprehensive act.

In his original expectation, Dou Mu should be the type to rely on her Dao power, reckless, looking down on any tactical methods.

But now, she unexpectedly willingly became part of the act just to fool the Saints? With her methods and the Heavenly Court’s heritage, did she really need to fear the Saints present?

Ji Jingqiu realized that Dou Mu’s plans were not solely about the Heavenly Court standing in the world.

Ji Jingqiu sighed lightly inside, communicating with Ksitigarbha, borrowing the power of Netherworld Soil to cooperate with Dou Mu’s actions.

Lights rose from various places in the Netherworld Soil, performing the power of all beings from the depths of the void, suppressing the intangible Silent Extinction Tide.

Only then could this sudden catastrophe be considered ended.

Ji Jingqiu sharply sensed that Dou Mu’s suppression of the so-called Silent Extinction Tide was supported not only by the Jade Ruyi but also by a large amount of collective belief power from the Heavenly Court.

Is this the key to the Divine Dao?

Ji Jingqiu pondered deeply, meanwhile inquiring Moon-cutting Sword Light if it had seen the so-called Silent Extinction Tide.

The latter replied solemnly, "This thing is somewhat eerie, intangible, even I can only faintly sense its appearance, it does not possess any lethal power, yet it contains a peculiar rule, capable of negating the existence of the Inner Universe, even a True Saint cannot withstand it."

"What about a Transcender?"

"A Transcender can naturally ignore it," Sword Light concluded, "The essence of this thing is likely similar to the Bitter Sea, but probably more troublesome than the Bitter Sea. For a True Saint, the Bitter Sea only requires not touching it and staying away, but this thing is shadowless and formless, the Heavenly Court uses the word ’tide’ to describe it, it can be imagined how troublesome this thing is at its peak."

This disaster came quickly and went equally swiftly, all Saints felt as if they had escaped death, their hearts filled with a mix of fear and relief.

Without waiting for them to question, Dou Mu was the first to speak, her voice carrying traces of deep-hidden fatigue:

"The disaster erupted, I rushed in at the first moment to suppress it, yet still let a trace leak out, causing concern among you."

The Saints instantly fell silent.

This was merely... the ’trace’ of the leaked disaster?

They exchanged glances, no one ventured to speak first.

Even if some suspected that this was orchestrated by the Heavenly Court, yet the Heavenly Court’s Divine Generals and Star Monarchs also suffered losses, and the number was not small, thus these suspicions had no solid ground.

Dou Mu looked solemnly at Ji Jingqiu, "World Venerable, regardless of any misunderstandings we might have had before, with the Silent Extinction Tide before us, you and I should join hands!"

"Heavenly Emperor! What exactly is the Silent Extinction Tide?!" A True Saint abruptly stood up, his eyes red as he gritted his teeth and questioned.

He was a disciple from Huncheng Palace, tasked with exploring the Chaotic Sea. Not long ago, he had reunited with his Senior Brother Tuo Hai, yet just now witnessed his Senior Brother Tuo Hai’s inexplicable death!

Dou Mu surveyed everyone once around, sighed lightly, and said, "This is the world catastrophe from a hundred eons ago. Even the Heavenly Court that once ruled the Sea of Realms can only suppress it rather than eliminate it. To suppress the Silent Extinction Tide, the Heavenly Court has already sacrificed too much. This time, seeking all of you is also about discussing subsequent actions on how to jointly suppress the Silent Extinction Tide, the Heavenly Court is exhausted."

"If the Silent Extinction Tide is not suppressed, what consequences will it bring?" Kong Ming asked gravely.

"Everyone has seen, even a True Saint will suffer in calamity," Dou Mu said slowly, "But the most terrifying is that this catastrophe truly destroys realm universes."

Everyone’s hearts sank.

A True Saint’s immortality is based on standing upon a realm of Tao Proving.

Yet if the realm is annihilated together, even a True Saint’s immortality would be a joke.

At this time.

Dou Mu slowly walked toward Ji Jingqiu, from this angle, the Saints could only see her back.

"World Venerable, with the great calamity ahead, we should temporarily cast aside past grievances and choose to join forces. All enmity can be resolved after the calamity has passed!"

Facing Dou Mu’s seemingly smiling face, Ji Jingqiu finally faintly understood what Dou Mu was after.

She likely sought ’great righteousness’.

Ji Jingqiu’s thoughts surged, could this be related to the existence of the Heavenly Court or the Divine Dao?

Looking at that seemingly smiling face, Ji Jingqiu suddenly transmitted his voice:

"Was that the Three Treasures Ruyi?"

The smile on Dou Mu’s face faded, she squinted and stared at Ji Jingqiu, pausing before transmitting her voice:

"Emperor Yi even told you such a secret?"
